Business
The Pensacola Beach Chamber of Commerce has removed the “interim” from Christine Brewster’s title. Brewster, who has led the Chamber on an interim basis since September, has accepted the president and CEO position permanently, the organization announced Nov. 10.
She will continue leading the Chamber’s work supporting local businesses, strengthening community relationships and promoting Pensacola Beach as a place to live, work and visit.
“Pensacola Beach is a special place, not just because of its beauty, but because of the people and businesses who make up this community.”
Familiar Face
Not new to the Chamber. Brewster has served the organization in various capacities over the years.
“I’m incredibly honored and excited to start this new chapter,” Brewster said. “Having served the Pensacola Beach Chamber in various capacities over the years, I’ve had the privilege of seeing firsthand the dedication, relationships, and hard work that have made this organization what it is today. I’m grateful for the strong foundation built by those who came before me, and I look forward to building on that success.”
Local ties. Originally from Bainbridge, Georgia, Brewster moved to Pensacola in 2007 with her husband, who grew up in the area.
Her Priorities
According to the Chamber, Brewster will focus on:
- Building on the Chamber’s established foundation
- Strengthening member engagement
- Fostering partnerships with businesses and community groups
- Keeping the Chamber an effective advocate and resource for the beach business community
“I’m committed to ensuring our Chamber continues to be a strong voice and valuable resource for our members, and I look forward to all we can accomplish together,” she said.
